The parity-conserving $a$ and parity-violating $b$ amplitudes for weak radiative hyperon decay are studied using chiral perturbation theory. The imaginary parts of $a$ and $b$ are computed using unitarity. The real part of $b$ is dominated…
We evaluate radiative decays of $\rho$ and $\omega$ going to two neutral mesons, $\pi^{0} \pi^{0}$ and $\pi^{0} \eta$. We use the sequential vector decay mechanisms in addition to chiral loops and $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing. The chiral loops…

We extend our previous analysis of mirror matter admixtures to reproduce the |\Delta I|=1/2 rule predictions in the decays \Omega^-\to\Xi^-\pi^0, \Omega^-\to\Xi^0\pi^-, and \Omega^-\to\Lambda K^-. The results are satisfactory, lending…
Inspired by the newly observed $\Omega(2012)$ state at Belle II, we investigate the two-body strong decays of $\Omega$ baryons up to $N=2$ shell within the chiral quark model. Our results indicate that: (i) the newly observed $\Omega(2012)$…

We discuss a description of \Omega^- two body non-leptonic decays based on possible, albeit tiny, admixtures of mirror matter in ordinary hadrons. The \Delta I=1/2 rule enhancement is obtained as a result of isospin symmetry and, more…
